Position in the state cohort
At 496.8 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Hutchins ranks 65 of 686 — above 621 of the 685 other Texas cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +177.6% against the cohort median of 178.9. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Comparable rate records
The nearest comparable 2024 records to Hutchins's 496.8 violent-crime rate per 100,000 are Henderson (495.2), Sunset Valley (494.2), Sweetwater (501.0), Mesquite (501.3). These are same-year agency submissions that pass the same completeness screen, not a claim that the cities have identical conditions. They make the cohort position above checkable against named records instead of a generic state average.
Property-offense composition
Larceny-theft is 58.5% of reported property offenses in Hutchins, against a cohort median of 71.6%. The remainder is burglary (24) and motor vehicle theft (69). Composition differences of this size usually track what kinds of places and property are present in a jurisdiction.
2020–2024 direction
Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 572.3 per 100,000 in 2020 to 496.8 in 2024 (-13.2%). The highest observed value was 732.9 in 2022 and the lowest 496.8 in 2024. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Property counts dominate Hutchins's FBI UCR Table 8 municipal row. Per-100,000 rates use the reporting-year population on that row; cities that fail the completeness test stay out of rate rankings. A citywide figure rarely describes any single neighbourhood inside the municipal boundary.
